This Week’s ‘Strange New Worlds’ Is a Little Too Cute for Its Own Good

Strange New Worlds loves being Star Trek. That’s different from, say, Lower Decks, a series that loved being about Star Trek and the metatextual acknowledgement of that to the nerdiest of degrees. Strange New Worlds knows that it is Star Trek and enjoys that: its connection to the original, the warts-and-all embrace of episodic storytelling, its desire to poke and prod at itself endlessly, and its willingness to vacillate its tone from high drama to high camp on a dime. Sometimes, that can make

Octopath Traveler 0 Isn't Just a Prequel, It's a Whole New Approach

The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase on Thursday showed trailers for some games already announced for the Nintendo Switch 2 and revealed a few new ones as well. The biggest of those debut games is the third game in the Octopath Traveler series, Octopath Traveler 0. As the "0" implies, this game is a prequel to the first Octopath Traveler game, released on the original Switch in 2019. This turn-based RPG makes a big change to the series by allowing players to make their own protagonist instead o

Trump suspends trade loophole for cheap online retailers globally

E-commerce giants everywhere felt the sting Wednesday when President Donald Trump announced that the US will be "suspending duty-free de minimis treatment for low-value shipments" worth $800 or less from anywhere in the world. Americans will likely soon feel the crunch, with one recent study estimating that the cost of eliminating the trade loophole overall to US consumers could fall between $10.9 billion and $13 billion while "disproportionately" hurting "lower-income and minority consumers" w

Zig Profiling on Apple Silicon

If you’re a developer rocking an Apple Silicon Mac and writing in Zig, congratulations - you’ve chosen the scenic route through the desert of profiling tools. It’s just you, your code, and a tumbleweed named Apple Instruments. But don’t worry - we’ll try to find some oases. Okay, it’s not that bad, but we’re far away from the rich ecosystem of profiling tools available on Linux. Note: I have limited experience using low-level languages, so this article doesn’t provide a deep dive into profili

The Inside Story of Eric Trump’s American Bitcoin

Early into Trump’s second term as US president, the CEO of energy infrastructure company Hut 8 Asher Genoot and Hut 8 chief strategy officer Michael Ho shared thin crust pizza with Eric Trump at the Trump golf club in Jupiter, Florida. They talked for hours, says Genoot, and tabled a business venture that greatly interested Trump: a bitcoin mining alliance. They first met through mutual friends in late 2024: Genoot says he’d shown Eric photos of their “beautiful, liquid cool data center” in Ama

Ford to reveal more about its new low-cost electric vehicles on August 11

Ford is set to reveal more information about its upcoming low-cost electric vehicles at an event in Kentucky on August 11. And the company is talking a very big game: CEO Jim Farley said Wednesday that the announcement is “a Model T moment” for Ford. Farley made the comments after Ford revealed its electric vehicle division posted a loss of around $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2025. Sales of the company’s top two EVs, the F-150 Lightning and the Mustang Mach-E, are declining, all while

Microsoft officially tops $4 trillion in market cap, joining Nvidia in exclusive club

Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella speaks in front of the OpenAI logo at the Microsoft Build conference in Seattle, Washington, on May 19, 2025. The $4 trillion club has a second member. Microsoft shares climbed more than 5% Thursday following a better-than-expected earnings report, lifting the software giant's market cap above the $4 trillion mark. The company joined chipmaker Nvidia , which hit $4 trillion for the first time earlier this month. Microsoft reported 18% revenue growth,

In Disturbing Demo, AI-Powered Video Game Characters Panic When Told They're Just Code

Last month, the union SAG-AFTRA, which represents video game performers and other actors, ended a nearly yearlong strike with a tentative agreement on "guardrails" against the use of artificial intelligence. The gaming industry has been in disarray, with publishers chomping at the bit to start harnessing AI to augment — or, realistically, replace — the jobs of voice actors and writers. And we're not just talking about scripts or voice lines generated by an algorithm. In the not-so-distant futu

Matrix Is Not Safe for EU Data Privacy

Matrix has long been promoted as the future of secure, decentralized communication. Backed by an open protocol, a vibrant developer community, and bridges to legacy systems, it promises interoperability and freedom from vendor lock-in. But when viewed through the lens of EU data privacy law, Matrix, and its commercial champion, Element, poses significant and underappreciated risks. For public-sector organizations, critical infrastructure, and privacy-conscious enterprises in the EU, the questio

Profiling without Source code – how I diagnosed Trackmania stuttering

Profiling without Source code – how I diagnosed Trackmania stuttering A very common side effect of working as a programmer is the constant frustration of not having source code access to all the software you use. Bugs, problems or missing features in your own work can be frustrating enough — you know you’ll have to address all those issues at some point. But it’s even worse when you experience an issue and don’t have the option to solve it. A recent example of this for me was playing the game

What is gVisor?

It has been a really long time since I last wrote something here as life happens, things get busier, etc etc. I am now trying to get back into writing things down and here we go! So, imagine a tool or a service that allows you to run some arbitrary code via a shell. Either through a ssh or more commonly, via a web terminal. How does these tools isolate your code from other people’s code and vice versa ? How come you cannot see other people code or processes ? The first thing you probably be th

I’m not convinced about the Pixel 10 Pro’s 100x zoom, and you shouldn’t be either

The Google Pixel 10 series is just a few weeks away, and I’m keenly waiting to see what these new phones offer. One of the most intriguing and persistent rumors is that the base model will have a telephoto camera, but what about the Pro phones? It sounds like Google could maintain the same 48MP 5x cameras seen on the Pixel 9 Pro series. However, a trove of marketing material shared by veteran leaker Evan Blass has revealed that the Pixel 10 Pro phones could get 100x zoom. I’m not convinced that

‘Dune 3’ Will Feature the Return of Smooth Faced Jason Momoa

As shooting gets underway on Dune: Part 3, the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah, returning cast member Jason Momoa is prepping to come back, but not exactly as who you’d think he’d be… or looking the way you’d expect. An Instagram post shows Momoa shaving to mark his return to the Dune franchise, a journey he began six years ago. It’s a stunt to celebrate the anniversary, which began at the same time as his collaboration with environmentally friendly aluminum water bottle purveyors Ma

Josh Hawley Says Trump Tariff Rebate Checks Won’t Go to ‘Biden Voters’

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) recently introduced legislation that he claims is designed to allow Americans to “benefit” from Trump’s tariff scheme. Now, he’s giving everyone good reason to believe that his ploy to send rebate checks at a time of rising inflation is just a political stunt. The administration’s tariffs are unprecedented in modern economic history and are currently generating revenue for the U.S. government by taxing U.S. businesses on their imports. Critics have noted that the a

Professional Chefs Beg: Don't Buy These 20 Pointless Kitchen Gadgets

As long as we have kitchens, brands will continue to pump out tools. Many are essential, while others just collect dust or don't perform their duties any better than a great knife or pair of kitchen shears. Instead of chasing every buzzy new appliance, it pays to stick with gear that's versatile, reliable and actually makes your life easier. To help you sort the essentials from the excess, we asked chefs and kitchen pros which gadgets are worth the hype -- and which ones are better left behind.

The Best Travel Strollers for All Your Family Adventures (2025)

Honorable Mentions There are a lot of strollers out there. Here are a few more I like but aren't my top recommendations for one reason or another. Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 for $400: This is another city stroller like the Thule Shine, but its nearly flat fold reminds me of a travel stroller. It comes with a car seat attachment that works with many popular car seat makers, so it's a great pick if you want something to work with a car seat right away and still has a great, lightweight fold.

The Trump-Crypto Honeymoon Is Over

As with any fledgling romance, Trumpworld and big money cryptocurrency interests were bound to have their first fight at some point. It was late June heading into July, and two highly anticipated bills were in the pipeline to help fulfill President Donald Trump’s promises to make the US the “crypto capital of the planet” and usher in what his supporters believed would be a “golden age” of digital assets. Congress had one shot at passing something before the August recess. Coinbase, the cryptoc

Aurora’s autonomous trucks are now driving at night. Its next big challenge is rain.

Over the next year, Aurora Innovation CEO Chris Urmson wants to “unlock” the Sunbelt of the United States, a southern route where its self-driving trucks will carry goods for companies like Uber Freight and Hirschbach Motor Lines. Aurora, which launched its driverless commercial self-driving truck service this spring, has already made some progress towards that goal. The company reported Wednesday in its second-quarter letter to shareholders that it now has three self-driving trucks operating c

Trump Ends Tariff Exemption for Small Packages

US President Donald Trump just dealt another blow to the embattled ecommerce industry, which is still reeling from sweeping tariffs Trump announced in the spring. On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order widening the impact of those tariffs and making it more expensive for Americans to buy foreign products on sites like eBay, Etsy, and Amazon. The order eliminates the so-called “de minimis” provision, a long-standing policy that allowed people in the US to import packages valued at less th

Microsoft tops $4 trillion in market cap after hours, joining Nvidia in exclusive club
